Daughters - A Seven Day Devotional for Women

DAY 5 OF 7

Day 5 

He disciplines you.

When you think about your parents and your childhood, you can probably list off many ways they had to discipline you. Maybe you tried to touch a hot stove, or you tried to run out into the street and your parents disciplined you. It is never fun; no one enjoys being disciplined or corrected. Yet, it is always for our good.

There are many times in the Bible we see God disciplining people for their growth. When Moses became too prideful, God told him that he could not enter the promised land. When Saul was persecuting and killing Christians, God blinded him. These situations might seem very drastic, but God loved these men enough to correct them when they were hurling down destructive paths. 

God disciplines those He loves. He does not discipline us out of anger because we messed up. He does it because He loves us too much to let us get hurt by our bad decisions. God, as our Father, desires our obedience. When we are acting in a way that is not best for us, God disciplines us so that we can become children of God filled with His righteousness and holiness.
